At what point, can you not work in a "bi-partisan" way with the other Party?

There are probably a lot things we can work together on? Such as fixing our roads and bridges, fixing our Social Security System, spending for Defense, creating jobs, childcare, healthcare, etc.

But don't ask us to turn the other way when children are being locked in cages. Do not ask us to work in a bi-partisan way on any cruel, unempathetic, criminal, dangerous, or treasonous activity? Do not dare seek our support in suppressing the votes of our citizens. Do not ask us to look the other way as Russia is manipulating our voting system.

Do not ask us to ignore the lies. Do not ask us to overlook the dangers to our national security. Do not ask us to understand your leaders that put their heads in the sand and pretend it is "just politics". Do not ask us to respect and honor a leader that possesses all of the qualities above.

We cannot work in a bi-partisan manner on such matters. We refuse to promote your immorality. We cannot support your treasonous activities.

the problem has been that Repubs have refused to work with us.

I wish the media would get more honest about that little nugget of fact.
